## About Overdrive
|
2016-01-17 23:13:41 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overdrive is an alternative web interface for the Transmission torrent program.
|
|
|
|
|
There are a number of issues that I have with the web interface that comes with
|
|
|
|
|
Transmission (some more subjective than others), so I decided to make my own.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently the interface is incomplete, but it works for basic usage. Currently
|
|
|
|
|
implemented features include the ability to add torrents by URL, sorting by any
|
|
|
|
|
column, filtering by status, performing operations on multiple torrents, and
|
|
|
|
|
choosing which files to download.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overdrive is written entirely using standard HTML/CSS/Javascript, and will work
|
|
|
|
|
in any standards-compliant browser (essentially any modern browser). There are
|
|
|
|
|
no special cases made to ensure functionality within a specific browser.
|
|
|
|
|
Chromium and Firefox are used to test functionality. There are no Linux
|
|
|
|
|
versions of Safari or IE/Edge (or whatever MS is calling their browser these
|
|
|
|
|
days), so I am unable to test those. Opera uses the same rendering engine as
|
|
|
|
|
Chromium, so testing it would be redundant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am currently focusing my efforts on rewriting the interface from scratch.
|
|
|
|
|
The current iteration (though stable and working) is starting to get stale. The
|
|
|
|
|
last update was made years before I made this repository. The only reason I
|
|
|
|
|
even published this version is for historical purposes. There is no ETA for the
|
|
|
|
|
new version, so don't ask.

## Requirements
|
2016-01-17 23:13:41 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overdrive should work with the latest version of any browser.

## Installation
|
2016-01-17 23:13:41 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The files in this repository need to be installed in one of several locations
|
|
|
|
|
in order for Transmission to use it (instead of the built-in interface). You
|
|
|
|
|
can pick one of the following locations:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-06-29 23:33:30 -04:00
|
|
|
* `$HOME/.local/share/transmission/web` (where `$HOME` is the home directory of
|
|
|
|
|
the user Transmission is running as)
|
|
|
|
|
* `/usr/local/share/transmission/web`
|
|
|
|
|
* `/usr/share/transmission/web` (this is the location of the default interface)
|
2016-01-17 23:13:41 -05:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Transmission will search the directories in the order in which they are listed
|
|
|
|
|
above. Thus, it will fallback to the default interface only if none of the
|
|
|
|
|
other locations exist.

|
|
|
|
|
Since I am currently working on re-writing the interface (as mentioned above),
|
|
|
|
|
I will probably not update the existing code. However, the fix will be included
|
|
|
|
|
in the new version (if applicable).
